Five years ago, I fell out of bed and with little effort was able to get myself up. Fast forward to a year ago and a fall in the dining room and we had to call 911 to get me off the floor. So, it was no surprise when I had to call 911, after falling out of bed, yet again, this morning. After struggling for 15 minutes to get up, I finally called and between the two officers, I was up and in a chair in about five seconds. What a relief. Of course, I was a bit battered and bruised but nothing broken, thank goodness. The worst of it was an abrasion to the back of my left arm that I was sure would turn into a very sore bruise.
I was right. The day could only get better after that. And it did.
Glad to know I'm not the only one. I cannot get up off the floor at all. So I spend quite a bit of time trying to keep upright! I am SO glad you were not badly hurt! I hope your entire home is carpeted!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ginny. Our house is a combination of rugs and flooring. Like you, I'm usually very careful.
